        It is called for users of `perSystem` such that `inputs'.''${name} = config.perInput system inputs.''${name}`.

        This is used for [`inputs'`](../module-arguments.html#inputs) and [`self'`](../module-arguments.html#self).

        The attributes returned by the `perInput` function definitions are merged into a single namespace (per input), 
        so each module should return an attribute set with usually only one or two predictable attribute names. Otherwise,
        the `inputs'` namespace gets polluted.
